Dominik Mysterio injury update details have emerged as the WWE star continues his recovery after a shoulder injury sustained during the main event of AAA Guerra de Titanes on December 20, 2025. Mysterio’s condition has been a key concern for fans and WWE talent, given his active role during the WrestleMania season and weekly programming.
WWE Confirms Recovery Period Amid Roster Changes
This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw addressed Mysterio’s situation, with commentator Joe Tessitore informing viewers that the wrestler is out indefinitely due to the injury. In a backstage segment during the same broadcast, Liv Morgan also commented on Mysterio’s absence, explaining that he is currently stepping back in order to focus on his recovery. These updates have led to speculation about how long Mysterio will remain off television and whether his recovery could impact ongoing WWE storylines as the Road to WrestleMania picks up momentum.
Medical Experts Opt Against Surgery, Indicate Shorter Absence
Further clarification was provided by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, who shared significant positive developments regarding Mysterio’s diagnosis and recovery plan.
“Dominik Mysterio, he found out he does not need surgery. What I was told today is they are looking at three to four weeks. So, it’s not a long term thing, he should be back for the Rumble. The timeline is fluid, but three to four weeks is the number that he got from the doctors I think today or yesterday.”

He elaborated further on the relief this news brought to both Mysterio and WWE management, especially comparing the situation to instances of other wrestlers facing longer recoveries.
“He got the word no surgery, which was the relief, because if it was surgery it’d be like Seth, it’d be months and months and he’d have to vacate the titles and it’s a bad time to be injured for that long. Of a bad scenario, he got the best news.”

Potential Return Timed for Major WWE Event
If the current medical projections hold true, Dominik Mysterio could be cleared to make his WWE comeback as early as the 2026 Royal Rumble. His return would likely inject new life into WWE programming heading into WrestleMania season, as he is counted on for both in-ring performance and ongoing story arcs. While there remains some flexibility in the timeline, the key development is that doctors have ruled out surgery, resulting in a much more optimistic prognosis for Mysterio at this critical juncture of the wrestling calendar.
